Today we have released PowerDNS Recursor 5.1.3. This release is a maintenance releases that fixes a few bugs and has a few improvements. The most important ones are:
* RFC 6303[1] has been implemented, letting the recursor provide
answers to some ipv6.arpa zones. This function is switched on by
default.
* An issue where a burst of many identical queries on a non-cache hit
could lead to intermittent failure to resolve has been fixed.
* The metrics now distinguish OS imposed limits from application
imposed limits. Reaching the maximum chain size is now reported
using the new chain-limits metric, while previously they would
increase the resource-limits metric.
There are also a few other bug fixes and improvements, please refer to
the changelog (5.1.3[2]) for additional details.
Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing
list[3], or in case of a bug, via GitHub[4].
The tarball (5.1.3[5]) (with signature file 5.1.3[6]) are available
from our download server[7] and packages for several distributions are
available from our repository[8].
Recently we made changes to our Open Source End of Life policy. Older
release trains are now supported for one year after the following major
release. Consult the EOL policy[9] for more details.
We would also like to mention that with the 4.5 release we stopped
supporting systems using 32-bit time. This includes many 32-bit Linux
platforms.
We are grateful to the PowerDNS community for the reporting of bugs,
issues, feature requests, and especially to the submitters of fixes and
implementations of features.
